STUDY ON PARAMETRIC BEHAVIOUR OF SINGLE CELL BOXGIRDER UNDER DIFFERENT RADIUS OF CURVATURE

Abstract

For the purpose of the parametric study, five box girder bridge models with constant span length and varying curvature. Inorder to validate the finite element modelling method, an example of box girder bridge is selected from literature to conduct a validationstudy. The example box girder is modelled and analysed in SAP 2000 and the responses are found to be fairly matching with the resultsreported in literature. For the purpose of the parametric study, the five box girder bridges are modelled in SAP2000. The span length ,cross-section and material property remains unchanged. The only parameter that changes is the radius of curvature. The cross section ofthe superstructure of the box girder bridge consists of single cell box. The curvature of the bridges varies only in horizontal direction. Allthe models are subjected to self weight and moving load of IRC class A tracked vehicle. A static analysis for dead load and moving load,and a modal analysis are performed. The longitudinal stress at top and bottom of cross sections, bending moment, torsion, deflection andfundamental frequency are recorded. The responses of a box girder bridge curved in plan are compared with that of a straight bridge. Theratio of responses is expressed in terms of a parameter. From the responses it is found that; the parameters like torsion, bending moment,and deflection is increasing as curvature of the bridges increase.Keywords: SAP 2000, Box Girder, Bending Moment, Torsion, Deflection
